A Limit Theorem for Multidimensional Galton-Watson ProcessesAnnals of Mathematical Statistics, 37
[Historically, it was in 1874 that Sir Francis Galton and H.W.Watson, while investigating the problem of “the extinction of family names” in England, formulated a simple but elegant mathematical model for the evolution of a family over successive generations. This was the first significant attempt to apply probability theory in order to study the effects of random fluctuations on the development of families or populations. It is this model that later came to be known as the Galton-Watson Branching Process and formed the basis of many subsequent extensions and generalizations.]
